Fabulous Living Rises with Bacolod’s Glasshouse Sports Court
To the fabulous people of Bacolod—those who appreciate beautiful spaces, vibrant gatherings, good food, and an active lifestyle—something truly exciting is on the horizon.
By 2026, a new landmark will rise inside Megaworld’s The Upper East, and it’s not just another sports venue. The Yard, Bacolod’s first glasshouse sports court, is set to redefine how the city moves, connects, and lives fabulously. This is where sports, wellness, and lifestyle converge—effortlessly stylish, open, and designed for a city that knows how to enjoy life.
This isn’t simply about playing hard.
It’s about living well—and doing it beautifully.
A Glasshouse Sports Court Designed for Movement and Community
At the center of The Yard is a 3,290-square-meter multi-purpose outdoor court, built for versatility and energy. It can transform seamlessly into a basketball, volleyball, or pickleball court, or open up for fitness training, group workouts, and community-led wellness activities.
With sheltered bleachers and secure perimeters, the space is ready for tournaments and large-scale events. Yet its open-air design keeps it relaxed and welcoming—perfect for both competitive play and laid-back weekends. Whether you’re participating or spectating, the experience is meant to feel social, engaging, and inclusive.
Because in Bacolod, even sports are better when shared.

Where the Glasshouse Sports Court Meets Lifestyle
What elevates The Yard beyond the ordinary is what surrounds the court.
Encircling the main space are four architecturally striking glasshouses, designed with graceful curved rooflines that soften the structure and invite natural light. These glasshouses will host a curated mix of dining concepts, food and beverage spots, and retail spaces offering fitness and lifestyle essentials.
Shaded walkways link the glasshouses to the court, encouraging slow strolls, casual conversations, and spontaneous meet-ups. It’s easy to imagine finishing a game, cooling down with friends, grabbing a great meal, or simply enjoying the atmosphere—because fabulous living isn’t rushed.
Wellness That Feels Natural, Not Forced
For Marnelli Gemarino, owner of The Yard, the vision has always been about balance. “Wellness should be accessible, enjoyable, and part of everyday life,” she shares. “We wanted to create a space that motivates people to move, connect, and feel good—without pressure.”
Choosing The Upper East was a deliberate decision. Its wide-open spaces and thoughtfully planned environment provide the calm and structure needed for a place that values discipline, well-being, and community—qualities that align perfectly with Bacolod’s evolving lifestyle.

Why This Glasshouse Sports Court Is a Fabulous Win for Bacolod
The arrival of The Yard supports Bacolod’s growing ambition to become a sports and wellness destination in the Negros Island Region. As the city strengthens its sports tourism initiatives, venues like this play a key role—not just in attracting events, but in enriching everyday life for residents.
Modern, flexible spaces like The Yard allow Bacolod to host athletic competitions while offering locals more opportunities to stay active, social, and engaged. It’s development that feels purposeful—and personal.
Megaworld sees it the same way. “We are proud to welcome another exciting destination for Bacolodnons and nearby communities,” says Christine Yusingco, General Manager of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls – Bacolod. “This is part of our continuing effort to elevate The Upper East as a premier hub for lifestyle, business, and now, sports and wellness.”
Fabulous Living, The Upper East Way
Built on the former site of the Bacolod-Murcia Milling Company, The Upper East has transformed into one of the city’s most dynamic districts—home to residential towers, offices, iconic retail destinations, and soon, a major hotel development. The Yard fits seamlessly into this story of growth and reinvention.
For the fabulous people of Bacolod, this glasshouse sports court is more than a place to play. It’s a space where movement feels social, wellness feels stylish, and everyday moments feel elevated.
Because fabulous living isn’t about choosing between health and lifestyle.
In Bacolod, it’s about having both—beautifully.
